21st May

The obvious highlight of the day was a male Red-breasted Flycatcher which spent all its time in a patch of willows in the moat and frequently singing. It was also pleasing to note that at least 13 Spotted Flycatchers arrived along with two Willow Warblers, a Whinchat and 24 Corn Buntings. A Little Ringed Plover also flew over.
